1996's 'The Great Southern Trendkill' is Pantera's most extreme and abrasive album, hands down. Characteristically defiant and contrarian, the band followed up its No. 1 Billboard-charting 'Far Beyond Driven' with an LP that was far beyond confrontational — musically experimental, sonically bombastic and lyrically scathing. For the 20th anniversary of the landmark record (released on May 7th), we talked to singer Philip Anselmo about the dark days that inspired such dark music.
